It was my mom who had scheduled the appointment at this particular store, so when we got there I joked that we were finding me a dress and not the mother of the bride!

When done together, we offer special pricing: a great deal for pre-wedding rejuvenation! Plan It: These can be done up 2 weeks before your big day. However, our medical professionals may recommend a series of treatments to be started 4-6 months before your wedding.

They can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that will seem more apparent in those post-wedding pics. Plan It: Typically, injectables can be done up to 3 weeks before your wedding.
